the only solution for me is to cram a lot of carbs and a lot of prote, as soon as i'm done cutting, of course

I disagree. 2x BW or more protein will significantly speed up your gains IMO. DC would probably have some fun with this

Personally I NEED a large amount of protein in my diet or I just simply do not recover as quickly from my workouts. And this is regardless of whether my carb intake is low or insanely high. By large amount I mean I never get less than 400 grams a day at a bodyweight of around 235-240. But I know that everyone is different though and it's very likely that not everyone needs that much.. But I do....

Of course anyone who eats a lot of protein must drink a lot of water.

Oh god yeah, I get thirsty very quickly I like it though, because before, even though I knew I needed to get a lot of water each day, my lack of thirst most of the time probably hindered me from achieving this goal.

I eat a lot of protein, but nothing pumps up my muscles more than carbs!!

 

[Lord_Suston]

about 200-300g of protein a day and about 100-15o g of carbs 1.5-2.0hours before a workout and another 150-250g of carbs throughout the day if i am trying to cut with most fat coming from flax oil and peanut butter. When bulking anything goes, hit up the buffet 2x a day and then eat all day long untill you feel sick, remeber the stomach is elastic

i'm always thirsty at night when i'm sleeping. fucck it annoys the hell out of me. no matter how much water i drink during the day the moment i hit the sack i start to get thirsty. so i usually leave a big glass of water on the desk near my bed so i can get up adn take a sip when i get thirsty. problem is, every sip i take at night means a trip to the bathroom

i went 9 days keto until my first carb-up today. a load of carbs and some ALA really makes a guy feel great after not having that for a while

I take in an average of 55-60 grams a protein per meal. I have no problems with digesting that much.

But, I have worked up that amount over time.

I also take in 250-300 grams of carbs a day.
